In fact, the so-called competition is just an excuse to get together, and the purpose of everyone coming to this hundred art workshop today is nothing more than to see the "Balcony Post" in Zhang Tianyuan's hand, and the rest are all lively, or warm-up.

Since this is the case, it is actually okay to change the competition to Zhang Tianyuan's performance alone, maybe for a few experts, this is more interesting, after all, even the so-called evidence that Boss Li, Boss Xiao and Boss Murong did not see made Zhang Tianyuan see it, and they also thought highly of this young man.

"Then the junior is welcome!"

Zhang Tianyuan is also in charge at this time, he has the heart to show his hand in front of these experts, and he can also make more in-depth friends in the future, otherwise you have no ability, and people really look down on you.

Li Lao took out a sandalwood box, but this is not a treasure that needs to be identified, the real treasure is in the box.

Open the box and inside are two walnuts.

"Walnuts?"

"Walnuts!"

Xu Gang and Jia Zhengjing both cried out in surprise.

"It's not...... Old Li, don't be kidding, bring two walnuts over, isn't this a count?" Xu Gang said with a smile.

Jia Zhengjing glanced at Xu Gang and said quite professionally: "What do you know about this old hat, this must be a porcelain walnut or a glass walnut!"

Li Lao snorted in his nose and sneered: "This is a walnut, a walnut that grows on a tree!"

"Poof——! ha......ha Hahaha, I'm laughing to death!"

"Gangzi, don't be like this, people don't understand, and it's normal to make jokes. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"I really don't understand that name, but this Jia Gongzi obviously doesn't know how to pretend to understand!" Xu Gang will not give Jia Zhengjing any face.

Jia Zhengjing's face was red suddenly, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and drill down directly, but this person's face was thick, and he even laughed and said, "I'm just joking, you guys are serious." ”

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel, let's let Tianyuan Xiaoyou identify these two walnuts. Boss Murong couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly played a round road.

Zhang Tianyuan didn't continue to dwell on this matter, he nodded with a smile, and said while playing with the two walnuts: "Walnuts have a long history of collecting and playing, tracing back, it originated in the Han and Sui dynasties, was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the long history of more than 2,000 years, it has been passed down and formed a unique Chinese walnut culture in the world. ”

"Throughout the ages, from emperors and generals, talented and beautiful women, to officials and eunuchs, and ordinary people, they are all proud of having a pair of exquisite, bright walnuts. ”

"We call this kind of walnut a walnut with a collection value after the selection and processing of walnuts with special type and characteristics, and the biggest difference between this walnut and walnuts used for food lies in the difference in the links of selection, oiling, playing, collection and trading. ”

"No, this walnut is so good?" Xu Gang couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said: "During the Ming and Qing dynasties, playing with walnuts was especially popular! Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tomorrow Qi not only played with walnuts without leaving his hands, but also carved walnuts himself. Therefore, there is a wild history of "playing walnuts and forgetting state affairs, and Zhu is operated by the school's imperial case" to spread among the people. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was not only a connoisseur of walnuts, but also said that he once wrote poems to praise walnuts: the sun and the moon rotate in the palm, and time wants to go back. Even the emperor plays with walnuts, do you say it's a cow or not?"

"You Rory have said a lot, but I haven't said whether Li Lao's pair of walnuts is real or fake!" Jia Zhengjing really couldn't get used to seeing Zhang Tianyuan proud there, so he urged.

"Jia Gongzi's words are not right, how can walnuts be true or false? This walnut collection is only good and bad, but there is no truth or falsehood. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

Jia Zhengjing was stunned again and didn't dare to speak, and now he found that the more he talked, the more he seemed to be unlevel, and the more he made a fool of himself.

Seeing that Jia Zhengjing stopped talking, Zhang Tianyuan continued: "This article is generally divided into three categories - iron walnuts, catalpa walnuts, and hemp walnuts. The first two are not of high value, let's just talk about this hemp walnut, because the pair of walnuts that Li Lao took out is a kind of hemp walnut!"

"Oh, tell me, what kind of one does it belong to?" asked Li Lao with a smile.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said: "The main varieties of hemp walnuts are: lion head, tiger head, official hat, son's hat, chicken heart, arhat head and so on. Its price is thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands! Among them, the lion's head is the most precious and rare, and it is also quite popular with collectors.

"What's that saying?"

"The old lion's head walnut is the oldest walnut in the cultural play walnut! The appearance is dignified and heavy, and the walnut belly is full when viewed from the side! The pile is like a straight pile! The pile is short and thick! The tip is small and blunt! The texture is deep and stretched! The bottom is huge and thick, and the bottom is flat! The leather is easy to be red on the hand! The color of the plate is beautiful! The quantity is scarce and the price is high!"

"How much do you estimate?" asked Elder Li.

Zhang Tianyuan scratched his head and smiled: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, I'm not very good at valuation, but your lion's head walnut is really a treasure, and the age is likely to be from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. ”

Jia Zhengjing snorted from his nose and said: "A pair of walnuts is two or three hundred thousand, and I don't know who has a hole in his brain." ”

Although his words were definitely not aimed at Li Lao, he also said it too unlevelly, which made Li Lao's face gloomy all of a sudden when he heard it.

However, at this time, Li Lao didn't have time to deal with the two hundred and five, but looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said: "Whether your appraisal is correct or not, let's not talk about it first, and there are also things from Boss Xiao and Boss Murong, you can also take a look." ”

Zhang Tianyuan knew that he had won the favor of Dong Lao through the appraisal of Chaozhu, and this time the identification of this lion's head walnut was praised by Li Lao, and it was definitely worth it today.

The thing that Boss Xiao took out was a gourd.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying among the people that "the literati played walnuts, the warriors turned iron balls, the rich carried gourds, and idlers went to walk dogs".

The rich carry the gourd, which shows that the gourd is actually quite a luxury collection in the world.

In the eyes of the ancients, the shape of the gourd mouth with a small belly can absorb the best aura in the house very well, and the bad aura can be effectively suppressed and suppressed, so as to create a suitable home environment.

Therefore, in ancient times, wealthy families mostly offered a few natural gourds at home.

Placed on the top of the middle hall, it is believed that it has the wonderful use of dissolving evil and collecting evil, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. There are many themes about gourds in ancient auspicious patterns, such as "descendants of all generations", "ten thousand generations of panchang" and so on.

Of course, there are many kinds of gourds, some are real gourds, which grow on trees, and there are also other ceramic gourds, jade gourds and so on.

However, Boss Xiao's gourd is obviously a real gourd growing on the gourd vine.

But whether it is collectible or not, it is really two words.

Zhang Tianyuan tried to input the earth qi into the gourd, but finally shook his head, he didn't know much about the collection of gourds, but this gourd shouldn't be a good thing.

"What are you shaking your head, can the gourd still be fake? That pair of walnuts are two or three hundred thousand, and this walnut is not more than a hundred thousand?" Jia Zhengjing's words revealed a taste of sarcasm.

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "If my guess is correct, this gourd should be used by the children of Boss Xiao's family to fill water and play, right? ”

Boss Xiao laughed and said: "Your kid's eyes are too poisonous, that's right, that's right, when I snatched this gourd from my grandson, the little guy cried so much, and then I bought him a transformer, so it was over." ”

This person is a cheerful person, so he directly said that Zhang Tianyuan's judgment was right.
